While we find it offensive, obviously they don't..or they are people with a serious need for psychotropic medication.
I found it funny that the name Hitler was also banned.
They said in order to use a name (for non german parents) it would have to be an accepted name in THEIR country. So unless the gov't asked every Turkish gov't official and person if they found it offensive, it's censorship..plain and simple.

Besides the number of people who are going to find the name offensive, the parents should consider what trouble having a child named Osama bin Laden is going to have simply because of the name.

On top of that, parents sometimes forget how cruel kids can be to other kids who are "different" somehow, whether it be because of a unique name or some thing else. They would be setting up the kid for many years of humiliation and probably worse.

I just wondered why you guys found the name offensive? Personally I don't care; we had 9-11 coming because of our slavish support for Israel, not because they "hate our freedom." ZOG has the luxury of having a huge army of goy slaves at their command, so that when we starve 1 million Iraqis, it is perfectly acceptable. When Arabs fight back with the only means they have, and kill far fewer people, they are "terrorists." The ZOG can only bully the rest of the world for so long before stuff like this happens. The whole thing has been exploited as a "tolerance" and "national pride" thing by the Jews; I think that being "proud to be an American" is buying into the whole ZOG propaganda effort.
